Amateur radio operators have long provided communications “when all else fails” during disasters. With a short course they can join over 710\,000 men\, women\, and children in the United States from all walks of life who are license to operate ham radios.  At the start of the Technician license course\, a member of the Palos Verdes Amateur Radio Club will give a 30-minute presentation on what ham radio is all about and what the many benefits of being a “ham” are. \nThe class location is: \nFred Hesse Community Park\n29301 Hawthorne Blvd.\nRancho Palos Verdes\, CA  90275 \nConfirm your attendance to Walt\, K1DFO at waltordway@gmail.com \nWalt charges no fee for either/both course(s). Taking the FCC test is $15. After passing the Technician test the FCC will send you an e-mail for paying its $35 license fee and then they will assign you your amateur radio call sign and you’re good to go! \n  \nOptional Materials (sold at cost) Gordon West books with all the FCC test questions\, $30 for the Technician and $33 for the General. Paper copy of Walt’s class Power Point charts: $30 for the Technician and $28 for the General. \n  \nEveryone who obtains their first or upgraded ham radio license through a PVARC VE test session will receive a free membership in the Palos Verdes Amateur Radio Club for the remainder of the current calendar year (or the next calendar year if test is passed in November). \nFor courses sponsored by the PVARC\, students through grade 12 who pass their examination at a PVARC test session will\, upon application to the Club\, be eligible for reimbursement for up to a maximum of $85 to cover their cost of class materials and the examination fee.
